Oddly they cover the three things I most want in the FAQ- directions? Spotify? WhatsApp?
The answer is no to all. I'd take a phone without a web browser or anything else if I could have these three.

I’ve offered this service of in loco parentis to everyone who tells me they want a simpler phone without the distractions, and no one ever takes me up on it.
Instead of Spotify I went back to MP3s and bandcamp. I sometimes use Apple Store or Youtube to find new songs/recommendations.
For messaging I have a desktop where I can FB message family and friends, so only at set times. Same with other messaging, only at set times.
People can text me, but somehow people forgot about that :)
Reducing dependency on chokehold services is a good thing in my book.
For directions an old fashioned gps navigator works fine or downloaded openstreet map.
Personally I have no use for Whatsapp, so once Spotify and directions are up and running I'll be pretty interested in grabbing one of these to replace my phone.
My main concern is the call quality. When calling is essentially all you're reduced to in terms of connectivity, I would want to be sure those calls go smoothly. I remember hearing bad things about the call quality in the past with like mic issues or something, not sure if that's been resolved by now.
